Titre du projet : Brise magique
Magic Breeze is an invitation to travel across time and space. This body of work includes three photographs as well as a video that feature nineteenth -
and twentieth-century headdresses from the collections of MUCEM, the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations in Marseille, and Museon Arlaten in Arles alongside textile creations made by the artist in response to this ancestral heritage. 
The headdress, both a functional and symbolic attribute, is here transfigured into an icon with an almost mystical aura, which seems to celebrate a history,
craft and labour traditionally female. The hands and bodies of these women from the past are evoked physically in the presence of the model activating
these artefacts, and metaphorically through the materiality and functionality of the objects. Playing on chronology, the artist inserts herself into this tradition
by creating her own headdresses using rudimentary shapes and techniques (strips of cotton fabric rolled and tied, beads), which in turn open a dialogue
with their ancestors. In the video meanwhile, one of the artist’s headdresses is set in motion, seemingly floating outside of time, as if moved by a breeze that is both mystical and profoundly human. 
Through the mise-en-scène and contemporary interpretation of this historical attribute, Magic Breeze pays tribute to the imagination,
poetry and technique of the women that created them.
